Neidpath Castle - Peebles

channel max

In posizione dominante sul fiume Tweed, fu costruito probabilmente attorno al 1190 dalla nobile famiglia Fraser e venne distrutto dagli inglesi, poco dopo aver catturato e giustiziato Sir Simon Fraser, "the Patriot", eroe della resistenza scozzese, proprietario del castello.
La fortezza passò quindi alla famiglia Hay, che la ricostrui' nelle forme attuali.
Fu spesso coinvolto nelle guerre di confine e danneggiato dalle truppe di Cromwell, durante l'invasione della Scozia.
Divenuto poi proprietà dei Douglas,
da 200 anni è di proprietà della nobile famiglia Wemyss.
Si racconta che sia infestato dal fantasma di Jean Douglas, morta di crepacuore perché non riconosciuta, dopo una malattia, dal suo amato.
Non è normalmente aperto al pubblico.
Viene utilizzato per eventi, matrimoni, film.

Neidpath is the most gorgeous venue and has the best staff! From Ian who showed us round the first time we visited and gave us some cracking ideas, to Rachel who really got to know us over the past year and a half, planned the day to perfection, and helped with everything we could ask for beforehand, Sandy who kept us calm in the morning, sorted anything we asked of her, and finally David, he kept us to time the whole day, looked incredible, worked with all our vendors, supported us with everything!!

The flowers made by the castle were absolutely INCREDIBLE!! They were better than we could ever have imagined, they took our very basic idea pictures and made the most unbelievable displays! Just WOW!

The venue is gorgeous, all our guests had an amazing time wandering around, looking in all the nooks and crannies, and we had a great time staying in the Queen Mary's chamber for a couple of nights.

Even though the weather was very...Scotland in October...we had such an incredible time and we can't wait to share our pics with the team!

Thank you to everyone at Neidpath for everything they did to support us and our guests!!

Another gorgeous wedding at Neidpath Castle! Neidpath continues to be one of my favourite castles to photograph weddings at. Not only are the ground beautiful, but the castle itself has loads of exciting nooks to explore. Plus, the staff make it a great experience for guests and vendors alike.

No words for how wonderful this venue is. This is where we experienced what will forever be the best, most romantic, heartfelt day of our lives - our wedding day! The location is stunning, the castle unique with loads of areas for the guests to explore (ours particularly loved the dungeon where we had a cinema set up for them and kids to chill through the night) and it has a fantastic atmosphere for partying at night! To us - there is simply no better place to have a wedding. Staff were EXCEPTIONAL to say the least, NOTHING was too much trouble for them and we had a lot of "different" things going on during our big day! Honestly, so friendly and amazing. As an added bonus, you can stay in the castle overnight (a huge positive after a long day partying - we could go right up stairs to bed afterwards!). The room was also perfect for me and the girls getting ready on the big day before I made my grand entrance into the hall for the ceremony. To sum up, if you want the perfect, fairytale wedding experience - then look no further, you have found it

A nice castle to see and the surrounding area is lovely. If you google the castle you can rent a room for the evening or use it for a venue .

My wife and I got married here with just a few guests. The quality of the stay, the prompt and very helpful service during the preparation and the stay was phenomenal. Could not recommend more!!

We got married at Neidpath last year and can't recommend it highly enough as a venue! The castle is beautiful (they provide all the decoration you could want) and was an incredible experience for all our guests and the service from the castle staff was top notch. Sandy was incredibly helpful in planning our wedding and getting all our vendors organized (crucial as we were several timezones away), and she and the rest of the coordinator team helped it go off without a hitch on the day. The adjacent lodging owned by Neidpath is also very nice, and the whole thing was also a great deal!

This is an absolutely beautiful place. And the owners are absolutely wonderful! We had the entire Castle to ourselves. My sister and I did a sister strip and we were in Scotland about a month and we had the best time. This Castle stay was the best stay. It really has a lot of character and you get to explore and find all different kinds of things all throughout this Castle. I cannot wait to book it again
